Combine 2 Data Validations Q
I have the following Data Validation in a cell using the "Custom" validation
=J10<"" This only allows input if there is a value in J10. How would I also include within this validation a requirement for the user to enter only values (which may include decimal places)? The problem I am encountering at the moment is that some users are hitting the space bar to change/remove figures and this is causing problems within a separate export sheet I have, as it interprets the values entered as "Space" although visually it looks blank Thanks |

How about
=AND(J10<"",ISNUMBER(J10)) -- HTH Bob Phillips (remove nothere from email address if mailing direct) "John" wrote in message ...

Thanks Bob, not quite what I require in that if I hit the space bar to
remove the input value it leaves ' in the cell and that causes me problems, I thought by having 2 validations it would work Some users are clearing the cell via space bar, instead of the delete key, or clear contents "Bob Phillips" wrote in message ...

Don't know what you mean John, if I hit the spacebar I get an error.
I do get the ability to hit backspace and clear it, but that can also be trapped with =AND(ISNUMBER(J10),LEN(trim(J10))0) and uncheck Ignore Blank, but this does not force some entry. -- HTH Bob Phillips (remove nothere from email address if mailing direct) "John" wrote in message ...

Bob, in another sheet (Import) I'm simply using a =Sheet1!A5 reference. This
normally returns Zero if the cell in Sheet1!A5 is blank, or the value in that cell if the user inputs a value. But if the user clears the value in Sheet1!A5 with the spacebar, this leaves a " ' " value in Sheet1!A5. On my Import sheet the value then returns a <blank, this is causing a problem when I export this cell (Import!A1) to Access. I've tried a If(Sheet1!A5=',0) but thats not valid. I need a value in Import!A1 not " ' " "Bob Phillips" wrote in message ... Don't know what you mean John, if I hit the spacebar I get an error.

John try naming Sheet!A5 (InsertNameDefine...) and using the name.
